I Heard What You Want!

The poll ended two days ago but I procrastinated in posting them till now. For those who participated in this mini survey, a "BIG Thank You" from me. Now I know what you want, hmm...at least the majority....:D, although only 29 voted. The Wire Wrapped Butterfly Pendant is the most popular judging by the poll result (48%). This is followed by Facing the Cobra Bracelet (24%) and Twice Around the World Bracelet (17%). I better get to work soon...:D WireBlissMei

Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity

This pair of earrings is a long overdue project. Been many many moons. Sorry! "S"....:) Was delaying a "bit" when I thought about all the wire coiling needed. However, I learn an easy way to coil wire (with a drill) which speed up the whole process a thousand time and save me all the sore fingers from Ms. Perri (thank you! thank you! Ms. Perri for being such a generous and sharing person). Anyway, "S", I hope you like this pair of earrings. Many many champagne colored pearls, Swarovski Crystals and tourmaline and the large faceted champagne colored drop crystals. All component of the earrings are handcrafted including the ear hooks. The earrings measure about 6.5cm (2.5in) from top to bottom. Weight....hmmm.....1kg each...haha! just jokinglah!....but you can feel the weight pulling down your earlobes though.... hmmm...how heavy is that?.....but no worry, as long as they attract all the attention...hehe~:D Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Holding the Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity Wire Wrapped/Coiled Earrings - Fruity WireBlissMei

I hope my creative muse will return soon :) By the way, still looking for inspiration from orchids - OrchidBliss, Orchid Fever. Have a wonderful weekend dear readers. WireBlissMei

Turquoise - Modified Monstrance

It was originally like this! "Bib", the new owner however requested that I replace the focal with this 8mm turquoise. While wire wrapping the turquoise as focal, the idea to wrap the 4 bicone crystals on the 4 corners struck me. I quickly emailed her and asked what she think of the addition and her reply is ......"ohhhh, i lurv it Mei....do proceed." wire wrapped swirly cross with egyptian coil bracelet - 8mm turquoise focalwire wrapped swirly cross with egyptian coil bracelet - 8mm turquoise focal wire wrapped swirly cross with egyptian coil bracelet - 8mm turquoise focal WireBlissMei

Before Wire Jewelry.....

These were the projects I was doing before I got myself hooked with wire wrapped jewelry more than 3 years ago. These pillow case is an unfinished project. "Rediscovered" yesterday when I was clearing (more spring cleaning!) a wooden drawer to make way for my wire and beads :D. Pillow case and embroidery.....hmmm! maybe I should do something about this. What a waste. Pillow case and embroidery workAll the embroidery and needle point work....just beautiful. embroidery and needle point work embroidery and needle point workThis is another project with plastic straws. It was a very popular craft project in Kuching many many years back. Even FIL also joined in the fun. We have more in the downstairs glass drawer. Don't look too closely as you will notice the dust collected over the years. This one goes into the dustbin! sunflowers project with plastic strawsAnother plastic straws project.....pretty! pretty! roses. roses project with plastic straws close up of a rose project with plastic strawsWireBlissMei

Monstrance Bracelet with Egyptian Coils

Done! An Egyptian Coiled Monstrance Bracelet. The focal and 'rays' consist of square and bicone Swarovski Crystals. Actually I was looking for a round flat crystal for focal but can't find any so settled with this square crystal. The monstrance measures approximately 4cm x 3.5cm.
